Exploring Subjects and Predicates in Simple Sentences

This video lesson introduces simple sentences, focusing on subjects and predicates. It explains what constitutes a complete sentence and provides examples of sentences missing either a subject or a predicate. The lesson includes four activities: identifying subjects, identifying predicates, matching subjects and predicates, and completing sentences by adding missing parts. The video encourages interactive learning by prompting viewers to pause and complete tasks, and concludes with a game to reinforce the concepts learned.
